I think putting it as the first state may help accelerate things.
Iowa used to be pretty Republican post-WWII, and then when Dems prioritized it as "First in the Nation" in the early 70s, the margins started to narrow for the GOP. In Reagan's 1984 landslide, it voted to the left of the nation, even as it voted red. Then, it finally went for Dukakis in 1988 and was Dem in every cycle until 2012, with the exception of 2004.
Maybe in the 2030s.
